Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Note that this goes beyond the "official" CDC SVI done at the tract and county levels only. The development version of the package also allows downloads using the 2018-2022 ACS (github.com/heli-xu/find...).

NEW: Census.gov has been down for many users since around 5 p.m. ET. I've asked the Census Bureau's public information office what is causing the bureau's website not to load and when they expect it to come back online...

The initial goal was to facilitate access to the SVI from R. For very different reasons that is still the goal.
